Both of those devices are fast ethernet devices. What that means is their ethernet speeds are only 10/100 and not gigabit. So you'll max out hardwired speeds at around 90-94mbps on either router. so if you have 200mbps internet speeds, they'll never hit that.
If you're testing over wireless 2.4ghz 50 mbps is pretty good. Potentially your 5ghz should get you more than the 50mbps but that'd take a little more fine tuning and troubleshooting. If you're planning on keeping 200 mbps speeds and want to actually hit that, I'd recommend upgrading to an actual gigabit router if you're going to have 200mbps service.
if you're happy with just getting 90mbps, then we can troubleshoot your speeds. If you want full speeds, upgrade to a router capable of handling them.
